Make each uploaded photograph into a separate, refined design poster. Do not combine multiple photographs; output each independently. Use a 3:4 portrait composition with two vertically stacked regions of exactly equal height, each occupying 50% of the canvas.
Keep the original photograph in the upper half, preserving the subject's identity, structure, pose, authentic texture, natural light and shadow, and original colour atmosphere. Apply only subtle, refined grading for an art-magazine and exhibition-image quality. The surrounding environment may be naturally extended to fit the format, but never stretch, distort or alter the subject.
Extract only the photograph's most recognisable subject, contour, structure, pose and narrative relationships in the lower half, reconstructing them as hand-textured flat illustration. Do not copy the entire photograph, redraw every object or preserve a cluttered background. Actively remove most irrelevant information and retain only the visual memory points that best represent the original objects and theme. Redirect the image into a stronger work through subtraction, rearrangement, cropping, scale changes and whitespace.
Use cut-paper/collage visual construction in the lower half: organise the subject with simple large colour shapes, summarised contours, a few layered relationships and irregular edges, as though cut pieces of paper were reassembled into an image. This is not pure vector art, but textured flat illustration with grainy paper, crayon/pastel texture, gouache qualities and slight hand-drawn naivety. Downplay volume and emphasise shape; reduce detail and emphasise character. The original must be immediately recognisable yet clearly reinterpreted through understanding rather than copied.
Make abundant intentional whitespace the core of the composition. Compress the subject into a refined small-to-medium visual focus, placed freely off-centre, against an edge, suspended or partially cropped according to its direction, proportions and visual weight. Whitespace is not an empty background: together with the subject, colour shapes, edges and a few supporting elements it creates breathing room, space and rhythm. Prefer subtraction to filling the frame.
Extract 2–4 of the upper photograph's most distinctive, lively colours and reorganise them into fresher, brighter, appealing flat colour relationships. Moderately raise brightness and purity and reduce greyness for a fresh, warm, light, everyday colour character. Saturated backgrounds or large solid colour fields are allowed, but the whole must remain harmonious rather than cheap. Avoid muddy greys, gloom, excessive realism, heavy shadows and complex gradients.
Introduce only a little text, with no restriction on language. Freely generate a few words or short phrases from the subject, place, action, emotion or metaphor, using handwritten type or hand lettering in an illustrated-poster composition. The text should be relaxed, natural and refined, without a pile-up of commercial headlines.
Combine hand-textured flat illustration, cut-paper collage construction, grainy paper, large colour shapes, exceptionally abundant whitespace and handwritten typography into a refined visual result. Avoid copying the complete photograph, retaining too much background, filling the frame, smooth pure-vector rendering, complex detail, 3D effects, templated posters and cheap cartoon styling.
